Harvey Specter’s swagger, the rapid-fire courtroom comebacks and the high-stakes corporate drama dressed in designer suits makes Suits one of the most addictive shows out there. Despite nine seasons of ups and downs (some of which could’ve been an email), when the show ended it did leave people wanting more. The way it managed to blend legal drama with workplace comedy and gave us a sharp, snappy and at times emotional ride through the world of Manhattan law is commendable. It was never just about the courtrooms, it was also about ambition, relationships, loyalty and winning (with a little Pearson Hardman gossip on the side).

The show has a cult following and if you’re one of them looking to fill the Suits-shaped void in your streaming queue, we’ve found a bunch of shows that will give drama, emotional stakes, charming cast, and razor-sharp dialogues.

11 Shows Like Suits That You Can Binge Online

The Good Wife

The Good Wife

In this critically acclaimed drama, Alicia Florrick goes from politician’s wife to powerful lawyer after being thrust into the workforce following her husband’s public sex and corruption scandal. The show explores her trying to re-establish herself in the high-profile Chicago law firm after years of being out of the game. What follows is a gripping mix of legal cases, power dynamics and clever manoeuvring. Think of it as Suits but with more emotional depth and a female lead. If you enjoyed Donna’s sharpness and Jessica Pearson’s poise, you’ll love Diane Lockhart, Kalinda Sharma, and Alicia’s own evolution.

The Good Fight

The Good Fight

Spun off from The Good Wife, The Good Fight follows Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) as she starts over in a new firm after losing everything in a Ponzi scheme. Expect it to be edgier, more political, and leaning more into social issues while keeping its legal roots strong. The show has witty writing, bold storytelling and surreal creative choices, while the creators are fearless in confronting controversial topics like racism, fake news, police brutality, and political chaos. With Christine in focus, the show is elite, dramatic and daring.

Billions

Billions

It may not strictly be a legal drama, but Billions is still a worthy watch for Suits fans. It shows how US Attorney Chuck Rhoades takes on billionaire Bobby Axelrod in a never-ending game of cat-and-mouse. The show is fast-paced, whip-smart and loaded with the same intense rivalries and drama that got you hooked on Suits. You’ll find lots of literary and pop-culture references in between so be prepared to amp up your knowledge. Each character is a strategist with something to prove so there are big wins and takedowns that make the show even more thrilling.

The Lincoln Lawyer

The Lincoln Lawyer

Meet Mickey Haller, a defence lawyer who runs his law practice from the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car. Before you dismiss this as a Suits-esque show, hear me out. It has all the things that Suits fans will love, a charismatic and complicated lead, satisfying courtroom drama and morally murky clients. Mickey’s a recovering addict and a divorcee who’s trying to give himself a second shot at life, so you end up rooting for him as the underdog. Each season revolves around one big case interspersed with subplots involving Mickey’s personal life, his investigators, and past clients.

Better Call Saul

Better Call Saul

All the Breaking Bad fans, assemble! Better Call Saul is a prequel to Breaking Bad and shows a masterclass development in Jimmy McGill’s character. You see him transforming from a struggling public defender with a heart into a fast-talking criminal lawyer Saul Goodman in the middle of gritty moral dilemmas and brilliantly executed courtroom scenes. As he evolves, he leaves the legal world around him — more corrupt, more dangerous, and more addictive. If Suits was a sprint, Better Call Saul is a marathon with a dark, complex payoff.

How To Get Away With Murder

How to Get Away with Murder

This Shonda Rhimes-produced legal thriller spins the classic courtroom drama into something much more addictive and darker. Centered on a criminal defense attorney and law professor Annalise Keating and her five ambitious law students, the story follows them as they get entangled in a murder that is full of secrets and cover-ups. Think Suits meets Scandal but with higher stakes and a lot of suspense. The narrative structure of the show is exceptionally good and keeps the viewers guessing and engaged. The best part of the show is Viola Davis’ powerful, flawed and fiercely commanding performance.

Cast: Viola Davis, Billy Brown, Alfred Enoch, Jack Falahee

Succession

Succession

Another, non-law show on the list, Succession may have lawyers but it has all the high-stakes corporate drama, boardroom betrayals and family power play making it a fitting watch for Suits fans. The members of the Roy Family, owners of a global media empire fight, scheme and backstab for control of the company. Sharp writing, dark humour, and brutally honest characters. There may be no courtroom here but there’s always a need to win and play corporate chess play by Roy siblings.

Cast: Nicholas Braun, Kieran Culkin, Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook

Criminal Justice

Criminal Justice

Loosely adapted from Peter Moffat's 2008 BBC series by the same name, Criminal Justice brings intense courtroom drama with a local flavour. The story kicks off with a seemingly simple murder case that eventually becomes a nightmarish legal battle. There’s jailhouse drama, procedural investigation, and emotional depth. Much like Suits, the show dives into the complexity of the justice system but it’s the Indian legal system. And Pankaj Tripathi’s portrayal of lawyer Madhav Mishra is a delight to watch.

Cast: Pankaj Tripathi, Vikrant Massey, Jackie Shroff

Law & Order

Law & Order

One of the longest-running legal dramas, Law & Order is a tight blend of police procedural and courtroom battles. It doesn’t focus on the lawyers’ personal lives like Suits, but it nails the legal drama bit with clarity, consistency, and impact. This show has set the benchmark for legal storytelling. If you liked Suits for its procedural elements and strategic arguments, Law & Order will give a more stripped-down version with an equal payoff. 

Cast: Sam Waterston, Jerry Orbach, S. Epatha Merkerson

Goliath

Goliath

Billy McBride is a disgraced lawyer who spends most of his time drinking rather than filing motions until a wrongful death lawsuit drags him back into the courtroom. The lawsuit, you ask? Against a massive law firm, he helped build. Imagine a Suits like high stakes with a gritty, noir-like tone. Each season dives into a different legal battle involving everything from corrupt pharmaceutical giants to shady real estate deals, and even tribal land disputes.

Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Nina Arianda, Tania Raymonde

White Collar

White Collar

One of the most tailor-made shows for Suits fans, White Collar is a blend of crime, charm and complicated bromance. A suave con artist teams up with FBI agent Peter Burke to solve white-collar crimes. His reward? His freedom! Although it’s not a legal drama, it does delve into the justice system but more like in a catching-criminals-way instead of defending-way. Neal’s charm and genius, mentor-mentee heartfelt bond, and the tension between doing what’s right and what’s smart make the show a perfect binge-worthy watch.

Cast: Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay, Willie Garson, Tiffani Thiessen
